Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed MarchB, 1909. Serial No. 451,210.

To all whom 'it may concern:

ignition or other purposes, particularly in respect to the c1rcu1t breakm 15 and spark timing apparatus therein. This is an imrovement over the invention set forth in tters Patent No. 763,510, granted to us I June 28,1904.

The nature of the invention and improve: ment will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description and claims.

Inthe drawin Figure 1 is acentral, vertical, longitudinal section through the magneto and a side elevation of the inductor coil and spark plug, with the electrical connection between said arts shown by dia gram. Fig. 2 is an e evation of the lefthand end of the magneto with the cap over the circuit breaker removed and showing the parts in position when the circuit is closed. Fig. 3 is the central portion of the,

same showing the parts when thecircuit is broken. Fig. 4 is the same asFig. 3 showing the circuit breaker adjusted or changing the timing of the sparking.

In the drawings there are s IOWII magnets shaft 12 with an inductor, 13' thereon within the winding, and with wings 14 forming a art of the inductor and projecting therefrom in opposite directions to cotiperate with the pole pieces 114. This mechanism is mounted 1n a suitable casing 15, into which ends 16 are secured, which furnish bearings for the,

shii'ft 12., At each turn or revolutlonof t1...-

inductor the direction of flow of the ,lines of magnetic force through the coil 11 is alternately reversed, thus inducing in the coil two electrical current waves or impulses for each revolution.

Fig. 1 shows the invention in connection plug 21, both of which may be of the usual construction. In the primary circuit of coil 20, a circuit breaker is located on-the magneto or generator as follows: On the end of the inductor shaft 12 there is loosely mounted a plate 30,, held in position byithe; adjusting bar 31, which is notched to'en-" gage holding means 32, whereby said plate 30 is held in its vadiusted positlon. A sta- Patented May 24,- i

with" a Ruhinkorff coil 20 andan ignition tionary binding post' 35 is mounted on the.

plate 30 and suitably insulated andprovided.

with a terminal 36 in position'to be engaged at times by tbe contact lever 37 \vh'ich'at its v upper end is pivoted to the plate30 byxthe 1 pin 38 and at its lower end is pivotally.'connected by a connecting bar eccentrically with adisk 40 secured on the shaft-and in electrical communication therewith.

As the inductor shaft rot-ates it carries one end of the bar 39 around its axis and thus v moves the lower end lever 37 so asto bring' said lever alternately into and out of contact with the terminal 36 and thus make and break the circuit to time theaction of said-" circuit breaker with reference to the rotation of the inductor shaft and-the action of the engine. The plate 30 is adjusted in its position by means of the banfilthus' alternating the relation of the fulcrum 'of-the pin' 38 of 'thelev'er 37 with reference to the axis of the shaft and thus regulating the time g that the sparking occurs.

The disk may-be mounted in connection with the inductor shaft 'or any other part driven by or operating synchronously with such shaft.

What we claim as our-invention and desire to secure by Lctters'Patent is:

' .1. A magneto Alectric ignition apparatus including an inductor shaft, a plate loosely g mounted onthe shaft, a circuit closing and breaking lever pivotally mounted at one end on said plate, means ecrentrically and positively reciprmated by said shaft that'is pivotally connected with the other end of said lever for oscillating it, a-terminal in position to be engaged\by; said lever, and means for adj usting theposition of saidplate.

--'2. 'A magneto electric ignition apparatus;

including an inductor shaft, aplate loosely mounted on the shaft, a circuit closing and breaking lever pivo'tally mounted at one end I affixed our signatures in the breaence. of the on said plate, a disk on said shaft, a connect-s itnesses herein named..-
